Nan Zhi thought Chu Yi had really grown up; she was willing to give him the Spirit Rhinoceros Horn, yet he still dared to hide it from everyone.
She looked at the cold, indifferent imperial tomb and curled her lips in dissatisfaction. "When I find you, I will definitely take your... dog's life."
All the disciples of the Wu Hui Sect were summoned to the council platform. They stood properly and dared not look directly at Nan Zhi, who was dressed in red.
Nan Zhi sat casually in the chair, stroking the mutton-fat jade pendant she had taken from Chu Yi, and glanced at them all indifferently.
"Does anyone want to be the sect leader?"
No one dared to answer that question.
Nan Zhi coldly curled her lips: "I want you to find someone. Whoever finds him will be the next sect leader."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at her with some confusion.
Those with more courage, who aspired to become the sect leader, couldn't help but ask, "Sect leader, may I ask what this person looks like?"
Nan Zhi's expression darkened slightly, and when she looked up again, her eyes were deep and filled with an emotion that no one could understand.
"He looks presentable, coughs frequently, has very fair skin, and captivating eyes..."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions changed slightly.
Judging from the description, it sounds like it's a woman.
And she was a frail woman.
Then Nanzhi added, "She's nine feet tall, very obedient, and has a gentle smile..."
Ah, is this a man or a woman?
Nobody understands.
But Nan Zhi did not offer any further explanation and got up to leave the council platform.
Most of the disciples who wanted to become the sect leader left.
Now that they have the opportunity to become sect leaders without having to fight, they are naturally willing to do so.
The rest are either training or trying to find shortcuts.
Nanzhi hasn't been sleeping well these past few days. After she went out for acupuncture, someone stuffed several delicate little beauties into her room.
The beauties were all quite tall, over 1.75 meters, their faces painted deathly pale, and they were all coughing while covering their mouths, looking as if they would be blown over by a gust of wind.
If they hadn't been so desperate to find someone more beautiful, they wouldn't have used these to test Nanzhi's preferences.
The lackey, unaware that Nan Zhi was actually a woman, saw her raise an eyebrow and assumed he had found the right person. He smiled obsequiously and said, "Sect Leader, what do you think? Don't they look delicate and beautiful?"
Nanzhi glanced at him, "Will you be obedient?"
The lackey immediately replied, "Yes, very yes, we promise they'll do whatever we're told."
"In that case, let them beat you up."
The lackey was stunned.
Nan Zhi narrowed her eyes, "Don't you understand?"
The lackey was terrified by the stare and immediately said to the beauties who were still coughing, "Come here... and beat me up."
The beauties were bewildered and greatly shocked.
Nanzhi sat lazily in her chair, glancing at them.
"Hurry up, I want to hear crying, very pitiful crying. If you can't, then all of you die."
The moment the word "death" was uttered, they seemed to be injected with adrenaline. The beauties stopped coughing and immediately sprang into action, no longer displaying their previous weak and helpless demeanor.
The scene was just like Lin Daiyu uprooting a willow tree.
Not long after, Nanzhi heard crying.
It was very tragic, but the crying was so awful.
Her brows furrowed tightly; she could no longer bear it. She rubbed her temples and said, "Get out of here."
The group immediately covered their heads and rolled away.
The room quieted down, and Nanzhi calmed down. She picked up the wine jug and started drinking.
She had drunk an unknown amount; her cheeks were flushed, and she slumped onto the table.
She seemed to have drifted off to sleep.
In her hazy state of consciousness, she seemed to feel a hand brushing through her hair, the voice bitter and sorrowful.
"Is acting with me tiring?"
Her eyelashes fluttered, but she didn't wake up. She murmured, "Yes, I'm so tired."
I shouldn't have agreed.
Otherwise, why would I be so tired?
I'm so tired that being the sect leader isn't fun anymore.
I'm so tired, I want to chop that rhinoceros horn into pieces.
I'm so tired, I want to blow up that imperial tomb, dig out that dark coffin, and split it in two...
There's been a lot of anxiety in the martial arts world lately.
The Wu Hui Men, an assassin organization that was originally quite low-profile and only targeted those with bounties of ten thousand taels or more, had no idea what had happened to them.
It is said that after a new leader was appointed, the entire organization seemed to change.
He went out everywhere to search for beauties.
Regardless of whether they are men or women, young or old, anyone who coughs or feels weak will be taken away by them.
Everyone was so frightened that they dared not be weak, and even dared not get sick.
Those who usually lead leisurely and comfortable lives exercise every day, while those who are usually hardworking work even harder, for fear of being arrested.
Compared to the fear and tension in the martial arts world, the Wu Hui Men (a martial arts sect) is even more so.
"With your face painted so white, don't you think you look like a ghost?"
"You cough like you have tuberculosis, aren't you afraid of infecting me?"
"His waist twists like a snake, and his lips are as red as if he's eaten a child. I'm really afraid he'll eat me up!"
"When I said he was alluring, I didn't mean he looked like a fishhook..."
One after another, beauties were brought back to Wuhuimen, only to be cursed and driven away.
Their sect leader's temper became increasingly volatile, to the point that almost no one dared to approach him.
Outsiders only know that countless beauties were sent to the Gate of No Return, but they don't know what happened.
Chu Yi did not die; he simply used the funeral to leave the capital.
He didn't have much time left to live and didn't want to deal with those who wanted him dead at any moment, so he used this "death" to give Chu Ning a big gift, and then found a place to spend the rest of his days quietly.
